How to get a jit.gl.text 3d filled drawbounds box
Apr 26 2017 | 3:35 pm
I'm trying to get a fitting bounding box under my text in jit.gl.text in 3d mode but i get some strange behaviour.
Is it possible within the jit.gl.text object to generate a filled box around the text?
Now I try to use a gridshape to match the box. I use a getbounds message to get the position of the box but it's hard to fit it right. Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance
